Depth Charges?

So I have a question about depth charges.

Last night I was playing SH4 (FotRS) Co-op with my sons, and I noticed that every time a DD managed to DC me, they did so with pinpoint accuracy. Didn't matter that I was changing depth and course and speed. The DC's would rain down right on top of me and explode at the exact depth that I was at in that moment. On one occasion I was sitting at 320 feet all ahead slow, and the DD dropped charges on me, and they came down and exploded at exactly 320 feet.

So my question is, how is the DC depth setting logic rendered in SH4?

Back in SH2 days, when playing in conjunction with Destroyer Command, the destroyers had to set the depth that the charges would explode, just like they had to do in real life. If they didn't set them right, the charges would explode above you, or below you depending on their setting.

Do the charges in SH4 have depth settings, or do they just explode at a depth based on the depth of your submarine?
